Godiva Chef’s Choice Selection (5 chocolates)

Release date: Saturday 16th February

The White Day limited special collection “Godiva Chef’s Choice Collection” was created by 5 of Godiva’s highly-praised chocolatiers, who specially selected the ingredients and used them to inspire the creation of each individual chocolate. This luxurious flavour and scent is enough to melt your heart.

The limited edition chocolate includes the almond feuilletine, which contains crispy feuilletine pastry pieces and a smooth, velvety almond praline filling wrapped in milk chocolate. The chocolate is then decorated with white lines. The collection also includes the “raspberry orange”, which is a fresh raspberry and orange ganache chocolate that is covered in dark chocolate. The remaining chocolates include “salted caramel”, “pistachio” and “Black honey”.

 

What’s a better way of expressing your feelings to that special someone other than through this special selection of chocolates crafted by Godiva’s finest chocolatiers?
